I'll never forget Charlie taking me on a ride in the airboat. I was screaming and he was laughing at me. You will be missed Charlie Free. Love to you Judy. True friends are forever. Thinking of you and your family. Love, Kursula

Remembering my dear neighbor from Weaver Ave.
I babysat Terrie and Bubba many nights while he played music and my mom would always go with them. They were best friends. Charlie helped me learn to drive in his old Bonneville. Heaven gained another angel. Prayers of Love, peace, and comfort for his family during this time.
